About this work

Artist: Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944)
Year: 1911
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 78.4 × 100.6 cm
Collection: Lenbachhaus, Munich
Movement: Abstract art

A wide field of yellow floods the canvas; at upper right a large black shape tilts into it, and along the left side a crowd of quick strokes in white, blue, red and black suggests rows of listeners. The black form is usually read as a grand piano and the yellow as the sound filling the hall. Kandinsky painted it in January 1911, days after he, Franz Marc and friends heard a concert in Munich of music by Arnold Schoenberg, including works in which the composer had abandoned traditional harmony. Kandinsky wrote to Schoenberg soon afterwards, beginning a long friendship. The picture belongs to his series of Impressions, which he described as pictures that still drew directly on outward nature, here the experience of a performance. It was in Gabriele Münter's collection and came to the Lenbachhaus in Munich with her gift of 1957.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A blaze of yellow with a black piano shape and quick strokes of red, blue and white, for a music room, living room or kitchen at 24×18 in black. A white or pale yellow wall; it pairs with Improvisation 19.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×18. Prints at 16×12, 24×18 in — 16×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×18 above a console or sideboard.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — natural wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Impression III (Concert) in the public domain?

Yes. Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Lenbachhaus.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 16×12 and 24×18 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Impression III (Concert) painted, and in what medium?

Impression III (Concert) dates from 1911 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 78.4 × 100.6 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×18 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×12 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Impression III (Concert) we'd choose 24×18. It is a landscape print, wider than it is tall, at the painting's own proportions.
